My Craziest Feats

Celeste - 100% Completion

While I'm still going through the game currently, the fact that I, a random person that is above average and isn't a full-on expert, have even dared to go through this gauntlet of a game is already pretty insane. But my current statistics might surprise you.

After collecting all Blue Hearts up to Chapter 7...

170/175 red strawberries collected

169/170 red strawberries collected without help

Chapter 1: 0/20 needed help

Chapter 2: 0/18 needed help

Chapter 3: 1/25 needed help

Chapter 4: 0/29 needed help

Chapter 5: 0/31 needed help

Chapter 7: 0/47 needed help

Chapter 8: -/5 needed help

[Chapters 6 and 9 have no red strawberries.]

0/25 golden berries collected

[without dying once in a run and having to restart from the beginning, it will be brutal...]

[golden berries are part of the 110% completion, not 100% completion.]

0/1 winged golden | 0/1 moon berry collected

170/202 total strawberries collected

! Note that there were times I idled for much longer than needed.

[Orange means I have not fully completed the criteria to unlock it/acquired them all/not completed fully yet.]

I have taken several breaks (long and short) to recharge for the next challenge, so these statistics may already be inflated by the time you are seeing this. My hands get tired or even sometimes hurt after some time in the game, but I'm dedicated to fully 100%ing this game anyway, which I have not heard a lot about, especially without the use of assist mode.

This game, to be honest with you, is changing how I interpret borders in challenges. No matter how many times I thought to myself, "This is impossible" or "I can't do this," I always seemed to get through no matter what. Any kind of hard challenge can be conquered no matter what...

Also, to make finding clues on hidden Blue Hearts easier without straight up looking at a guide after struggling, I used a separate save file with assists to at least search where it could be naturally. Only when I'm still completely clueless will I actually use a guide.

This journey started on 17 July 2025.

I'm projecting that 100% (without the golden berries) will happen before November 2025 (could be before October), while true 100% (or 110%) could take literal years...

Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 - 100% Completions

I've not only beaten Super Mario Galaxy before, but I've also done the 100% with Mario and Luigi on two separate files (on the 3D All-Stars version) made in different timelines, both having 242 stars with half of them for Mario and half of them for Luigi. One in February of 2021 and another in June of 2024, just before I graduated!

I plan on doing another run where I do the 100% with as few deaths as possible, because yes, these two files have many deaths that could've been avoided, both as Mario and Luigi. It'll require near perfection, but I'm really good on the Galaxy titles compared to others, so I hope it works out.

On the other hand, I've also 100%'d Super Mario Galaxy 2, which took so long to do, especially with how many tough stars (and green stars) there were. In March of 2025, I did what felt impossible to me, which was collecting all 242 stars, even Grandmaster Galaxy's two stars. Fun fact: I managed to beat Grandmaster Galaxy's Perfect Run in only 3 tries!

I don't know if I will be able to 100% Super Mario Galaxy 2 again with as few deaths as possible, since again there were deaths I could have avoided, but many of the stars required so much trial and error.

Super Mario 3D World - 100% Completion

This one has some backstory to it. In early 2021, I didn't entirely have the plan to get all the green stars, all the tops of the flagpoles, and all the stamps. But later on, I just had a feeling I might want to do exactly that. And so, I set out to do that, and so many levels were really hard to beat, even starting in World Bowser.

But then, I eventually managed to unlock World Crown, the final world in the game. It houses 3 tough levels. Champion's Road is a fine example of an expert level of Mario games. Note that I unlocked Champion's Road years before Grandmaster Galaxy, so I had no experience going into it. But then, after tons of deaths, I did finally beat Champion's Road... but something was missing.

I did not beat every single level with all 5 playable characters, something 2021 me didn't want to bother doing, so that was how it was for a while, until 2025 me came in and did exactly that... but it was getting repetitive, so I did what anyone would've done and connected extra controllers so I could count multiple characters off with 1 runthrough of the level. It didn't work with every level, but most of them worked doing this. I finally got the true 5-star 100% file.

Mario Kart Wii - Several Accomplishments

There are several things here that are so hard even the most seasoned of players have trouble doing consistently, but for me, doing them even once already felt rewarding when I finally executed them. These have been done starting in mid-2025.

One of them is unlocking Mii Outfit B. This requires unlocking all Expert Staff Ghosts, which is not easy to do! You basically need to perfect wheelies, driving maneuvers, and dodging obstacles and hazards... and also driving fast in general. You practically need meta combos if you want to beat them.

However, after much combo testing (because I was trying to avoid using meta combos for everything as much as possible), I've managed to unlock and beat all 32 Expert Staff Ghosts. I did this with a Nunchuck on a Wii Remote, since I am playing on a Wii U and have no available pro controller, which meant physically shaking the Wii Remote to wheelie. That did not stop me from doing this.

Another crazy thing I did is do the Wario's Gold Mine pipe respawn glitch, but not just once; I did it DOZENS OF TIMES. Why? I did it with all of the vehicles (all 36). NO ONE has EVER done an ultra shortcut with even ten combos, but I did it with 36. And now, I have a new goal: do the pipe respawn glitch with ALL 360 COMBOS. Yes, even the Mii Outfits. But currently, I'm too demotivated to do it yet. This'll have to wait...

Also, who knows if I will do more ultra shortcuts in the future? Since I've played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for years, my mindset has been built to follow the rules, but maybe, just maybe, I could break the game in ways I never thought I could ever do...

The most tedious project I finished: Video Speeds Speeding Up To Absolute Infinity 4.0

If there was any single video that was annoying as hell to do but still managed to make the whole thing, it would have to be "Video Speeds Speeding up to ABSOLUTE INFINITY 4.0 !!!". This is before I had gotten my 5-terabyte external drive for extra space for my 256 GB laptop, so I was very limited in space. To even make it a 6-hour, 40-minute video, it required a ton of reducing the file size for every single section, which in itself took way too long. Eventually, I did manage to make the whole thing. (I'm pretty sure) there were a lot of crashes that happened as well. Back in the day, this took 2.97 FULL streams to finish the video.

Was it worth it? To my eyes in today's day and age, no. But 2023 me had something else in my arsenal that really badly wanted to do this whole thing, but it isn't as impressive of a feat compared to other ones.

If we wanted to count "videos" of a series, then "SMW Toad & Toadette Color Pack Expansion – Wave 1: 1,344 Sprites, New Power-Ups & Forms!" would absolutely be a candidate for this, since I've annoyingly experienced dozens of crashes but still uploaded the showcase video for 1,344 sprites anyway, but because this is part of a finite series that isn't fully complete yet, I'll still consider this past 2023 project under this quote.

Biggest infinitely expandable quantum googology concept

If there's one thing that can never truly be fully showcased on videos or lists, it has to be my Quantum Notation. Now, currently, it isn't complete, and there are still plenty of things to be made in it, but with how tiny the planes can get, documenting exact names for every number combined with micro-numbers is nearly impossible.

Now, each numeral (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) does have different quantumnumbers between each numeral in most quantum googology paths, so this isn't much of a thing for them since they have to be found manually, but me? Without even needing to reach one in MQGA, I already made something to be able to recursively layer the micro-numerals from the zeros into every number out there, even 2+2i.

What's better? There can also be micro-numerals within these micro-numerals, and it's just an infinite loop from here. There's just no feasible way to document every single plane like this.

So whether you consider this a feat or not is up for debate, but since no one has done it yet and recursion matters more to me, I consider this huge. Even if it's fictional, just it existing is a win.
